My house lost power today for about thirty seconds, and my Plex server didn’t come back when the internet did.
I’m guessing it didn’t power back on automatically, and requires someone to push the physical button on it. Unfortunately, I’m about a thousand miles away visiting my family for the holidays.
We were definitely planning on watching some of our favorite holiday movies and tv shows, and now we’ll having to rely on other sources instead of my beautifully curated collection.
I’m pretty sure Plex is out for this trip, but what could I do to prevent something like this from happening again, short of having somebody on standby to drive over to my place and push the power button?
Edit: Wow, this got way more popular than I was expecting with many fantastic answers! I’m definitely going to be picking up a UPS, I’m gonna take a look at the BIOS, and also seriously consider a Switch Bot.
Also, major heartfelt thanks to the many good samaritans who have offered up access to their …
We have seen a pretty substantial increase in the Usenet feed size over the last few months. This month, the feed size is averaging around 172TiB per day on more than 263 M posts, which is up 24.1TiB per day over the September average and up 10TiB over last month. Currently the feed is about 18 gbps.
There has been an increase of almost 150TiB per day since we launched our service.
SABnzbd download speed is currently limited by the way Python works and handles secure downloads. Python has a Global Interpreter Lock, which restricts Python to only run one thread at a time. It can be released so that another thread can run when Python calls a C module.
The problem when downloading is that Python will release the lock, read at most 16 KB and then reacquire the lock. This is very inefficient when there is more data available in the buffer. A patch for Python that would read the entire buffer has been created but not accepted so far, and it doesn’t seem like it will be any time soon. It would hopefully let SABnzbd download 2-4x faster. Link to initial PR for this code on Github: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/25478. Safihre later made a new PR because the initial author disappeared. See the bottom of the comments.
I’m hoping that someone can help making it into a standalone Python module that can be put on Pip (Python packet manager) and used …

It’s this time of year: let’s all make Santamental Christmas memories. No need to Claus a scene this year, because we have an elfing high discount.
Let me tell you Deer: Behind the scenes we’ve been tree-mendously busy. We were able to think outside the box and thanks to some colleagues we’ve got PayPal in our sleigh. I can tell you there is snow stopping us now: it was love at frost sight. No pun for once: You can now pay with PayPal!
Let me have the final sleigh on this: in our opinion this raises our service quali-tree even more.
How rude-olf of us. You’re reading this because of the discount. That’s why: as of right now until Monday 2nd of January 2023 (12:00 CET), you’ll get a 35% discount! Sleigh, what?!

FYI: “TVDB has fairly recently added the option to add movies as their separate entry in the database. Any theatrical movie like this should be added as its own movie entry rather than as a special episode on a series, because it’s not part of the series. You’ll find that older movies don’t follow this rule: that’s because we currently have no plans to remove existing data in order to preserve people’s libraries.”
This is a pity in my opinion. I liked to have specific series related movies in my specials, works great in Plex and doesn’t pollute the movies tab. For example the Demon slayer Anime movie is a direct sequel to season 1 and would not make sense separate from the tv show.
Thoughts?
Hey, everyone!
So I’ve started sleeping my NAS whenever it’s not in use… I have a script running on it which will check the following conditions:
Kodi box 1’s screen saver is active Kodi box 2’s screen saver is active Backups are not running on remote server/SBCs Sab queue on remote server is idle Transmission queue on remote server is idle There are 0 SSH connections on NAS.
If all of the above are true, the NAS puts itself to sleep. This is all working well.
On the remote server I have another script which monitor’s the Sab & Transmission queues and wakes the NAS if they are not idle.
However, Radarr (and Sonarr/Lidarr) have started sending me health check warnings about missing root folders. Ideally I’d just configure the scheduled tasks to run at specific times, so I can wake the server up a few seconds before, and then power it off shortly after it completes. However, I’ve seen request for configurable schedules struck down time and time again on GitHub, so will have to …
For example if I love Danny Boyle movies can I just add https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000965/ to a list and then if he puts out a new movie in 2 years my Radarr will just know to download it.
Is there any way to change the language? Radarr has an option to change movies info language and UI language but sonarr doesn’t
Hello - NZBGeek flagged my account and sent me the below message. Anyone know what I could possibly be doing in Sonarr for something like this to happen, or how I could investigate it? Thank you
“Hi,
It appears you are grabbing nearly every tv release from our api, in excess of 10,000 episodes per day. This is not considered normal.
Please investigate and resolve before requesting an unflag.
Thanks,NZBgeek”
